Fog of War
Dear Russ, From everything I have read, dogfights lasted a few seconds and were obscured by clouds as well as friendly and enemy aircraft.
I always taught my soldiers that upon capturing an objective, we immediately did a 100% security sweep since their army was as screwed up our army and that 10 per cent of them never got the word to pull out.
Maybe a few SSW D III were modified locally and kept in service to meet mission requirements. Maybe this German unit was slow to withdraw the D IIIs. Any maybe just maybe, this Allied pilot splashed a Nieuport 28 by mistake. Just a thought.
Anyway you have raised a great question and I can't wait to read the answer. VR, Scott
